Chapter 65 Threat
"What does my niece-in-law want to do?" "What she said was reasonable and well-founded, and Shan Su couldn't pretend not to hear it. Moreover, he also felt that it was really shameful to attack a child. A lady from a general's mansion actually picked trouble with a three-year-old child. She was really capable of doing that.
Under Song Qingci's dominance, Shan Su now completely believes what she said.
"It's simple," Song Qingci said slowly, "Just let my second sister apologize to them and pay a hundred taels of silver as compensation."
It's not that Song Qingci didn't want more. One hundred taels was a more appropriate number after she considered it. It wasn't too little. If anyone in the second house wanted to pay this amount, it would be painful. After all, the general's mansion was poor. But it wasn't too much either. If she asked for more, the money would probably be paid from the public treasury, and then she would have come here for nothing.
With the extra one hundred taels of silver in hand, Mrs. Li will have more financial resources to support Xiaoyuer in his studies and marriage.
You can't be beaten in vain, you must be compensated.
Before Shan Su could say anything, Qi Shi quit, "Impossible! How could Yu'er apologize to that lowly person!"
"Earlier, Second Aunt said that our Song family did not have good family education, but it seems that the family of Governor Qi is well educated. They keep talking about untouchables and bastards. The families of those who defend their country are untouchables and bastards, then what are those who sit in office and do nothing all day long? Second Aunt, have you forgotten what Grandmother said? Why does our General's Mansion exist? Grandfather, father, and Shan Li all risked their lives to protect the untouchables and bastards that Second Aunt mentioned, so aren't they even more despicable!"
Song Qingci's words became colder and colder, and the last word was like frost.
Shan Su was also shocked when he heard this, "My niece, be careful with your words."
"Shouldn't Second Uncle tell Second Aunt to be careful with her words? Did I say something wrong?!" Song Qingci ignored him.
This was the first time that Shan Su was confronted by a junior, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
"My conditions are just like this. If Second Aunt doesn't agree, it's okay." Song Qingci paused here deliberately and looked towards Qi.
Sure enough, I saw a flash of pride on Qi's face.
Song Qingci sneered in his heart and continued, "Second Aunt's family is in Yangzhou. It seems that there are also some guards in the Chixiao Courtyard from Yangzhou. Recently I plan to let them go home to visit their relatives. By the way, I will go to Yangzhou to publicize the incident of the second lady in the General's Mansion bullying the children. What do you think of my proposal, Second Aunt?"
"You dare?!" Qi was furious.
Although she married into the capital, her parents' home was indeed in Yangzhou.
Her father has been the prefect for more than twenty years.
I originally thought that since my daughter had married into the General's Mansion, Prefect Qi would be able to move to another place. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he is still a prefect.
If Yu'er's affairs were brought back to Yangzhou and made public, and if some extravagance was added, her family would probably never have the chance to come to Beijing again. It would also directly affect the nephews and nieces who had not yet arranged marriages.
"How did Second Aunt know that I didn't dare?" Song Qingci asked innocently.
Seeing that look, Qi wanted to reach out and scratch her face.
Shan Su also understood that Yun Zhi's wife was really extraordinary. He had a hunch that if she said it, she would definitely be able to do it.
"My niece, it's better to leave some room for error." Although Shan Su felt that what his daughter and wife did was wrong, it didn't mean that he could tolerate such a family scandal being publicized.
"Uncle, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't make sense. I'm just telling you what might happen in advance. As long as you apologize and compensate honestly, then all the things that happened later will naturally go away. Chi Xiaoyuan is also very busy, so how can we give so many people a day off at once and let them go home to visit their families?"
Sorry, Song Qingci didn't feel anything at all about the pressure released by Shan Su.
The things she had experienced and the powerful enemies she had faced were many times stronger than Shan Su. Shan Su's aura was really not enough in front of her.
"No room for negotiation?"
"No room for negotiation!"
Their eyes met, and Song Qingci's gaze did not avoid at all.
"Okay, I will let Yu'er go and apologize, and I will let her take the 100 taels of silver as compensation." Shan Su felt that he could not gain any advantage in front of his niece-in-law.
When I saw her before, she was always quiet and gentle. But how come her aura, once released, was even stronger than his?
He himself couldn't believe that he had just begun to retreat from such a woman.
"Master! How could you agree to this?" Qi could never have imagined that Song Qingci would not even take the head of their second branch seriously.
And the master would actually compromise with a junior.
"Shut up!" Shan Su said to Qi rudely, "Look at what you have done to your children. What your niece-in-law said is true. Your Qi family really has good family education!"
This last sentence is full of irony.
Qi felt that he had really miscalculated. He originally thought that bringing Shan Su back was to support him. But he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face.
If you dislike her so much, why did you marry her in the first place? !
Song Qingci didn't want to stay and watch the couple crying, so he said hello to Shan Su and went back.
She was really hungry. She had to go back and eat something.
It was not until they came out of Zhixueyuan that Yinxing dared to speak, "Madam, does your hand hurt?"
"What?" Song Qingci didn't react for a moment. What did Yin Xing mean?
Yin Xing pointed to her right hand, looked at Song Qingci and said, "Does it hurt here? The palm strike just now broke the table, it must be very painful, right? ! "
Normally, even if you use an axe to chop the furniture made of mahogany, you need a lot of strength to chop it. The young lady just used her palm to chop off a corner. How much strength did that take? Her hand must have hurt.
Song Qingci only felt that his heart seemed to ache for a moment, just for a moment, nothing more.
Then she smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. I'm used to it."
It's just a piece of wood, it doesn't hurt. She has even split steel bars before. This is nothing.
"Hurry up, let's go back to Chixiao Courtyard. I'm really hungry." After saying that, she pulled Yinxing and walked quickly towards Chixiao Courtyard.
